Supreme Court orders Trump administration to facilitate return of wrongfully deported man

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The court emphasized that his deportation was unlawful due to an existing immigration court order preventing his removal, as he faced potential persecution. While the ruling mandates the government to ensure Abrego Garcia's case is handled correctly, it did not specify a deadline for his return or clarify how the administration should proceed, leading to some criticism about the vagueness of the order. Justice Sonia Sotomayor highlighted that the government has provided no legal justification for Abrego Garcia's deportation or ongoing detention. This case is significant as it may influence future deportation cases involving similar circumstances. Abrego Garcia's family is hopeful for his reunion after a month of separation due to this administrative error.
